I've had both and if I had to choose today I'd take the Beretta. I got caught up in all the CZ talk and bought the CZ 85 Combat. Thats adjustable sights and ambi safety. The trigger had about a mile of takeup. When you thought it was about to fire it hit a ragged spot requiring additional effort and then bang. It wouldn't feed right and jammed every other shot. Sent it back to CZ for some guy with an Indian sounding name to fix. When I got it back the work order said somthing like "repair chamber and trigger". Gun didn't jam anymore but I couldn't tell a bit of difference in the trigger. Had 3 Berettas. They were all good to go. Wish I hadn't sold them. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.
